The find is almost certain not to be the last. Tens of thousands of
unexploded bombs are thought to still lie undiscovered in German cities,
leftover from the Allied bombing raids that demolished the country's
metropolitan areas in World War II. Officials in Munich estimate that
there are some 2,500 bombs buried in the Bavarian capital alone. There
have been four significant discoveries of unexploded ordnance in the
city this year. Just one week ago, officials in Nuremberg succeeded in
defusing a similar 250-kilogram bomb.
